Admiral Male Grooming Launch Event in Leeds + GIVEAWAY

PRESS PLAY


           I always felt that men were a little left out when it comes to fashion and skincare products . Really now , just take a look inside the shops . It's always 70% for women , and a maximum of 30%  for men (I'm being generous) , so it's great to see there are brands that actually care about diversity.



              I talked for a couple of minutes to Paula about the brand and the concept behind it .She is very proud to say that Admiral Grooming products contain natural ingredients from all over the UK  and that the products are manufactured here as well .
You can buy the products online,but you will also find them in stores just in time for Christmas . I got a little tip for you: if you shop online and enter the code ADMIRAL30 you will get 30% off your purchase . A perfect birthday or Christmas prezzie for your loved one. :)
             My husband was very pleased to try the products , his favourite ones are the Beard Oil and the Detoxifying Facial Scrub.
            We had such a lovely time at the launch of Admiral Male Grooming products, Jamie Peacock told us some very inspirational stories from when he was a rugby player and we met some incredible people.

SKIN CARE TIPS FOR THE COLD SEASON





           Just because summer is over , that doesn't mean that we should neglect our skin,on the contrary,our skin needs even more care.The cold , windy weather normally brings us chapped lips and dry skin , but I have the perfect products to make it through the season .
Because my skin gets very dry and sometimes flaky, I have to exfoliate it every time I take a shower,so this is my shower and skin care routine:



First thing first: before taking a shower , I apply my Bee Good Facial Exfoliator and I leave it on my skin until I finish my shower,and I remember every couple of minutes to gently massage it onto my face and lips .This is a product that I absolutely adore and I have received it in my Glossybox a while ago , but I use it at least once per week and it's very gentle to the sensitive skin . Also , after I wash it off I immediately use a  face serum and a hydrating cream.

 I bought Ecotools  for its dual cleansing pad,which means that you can use it on both sides ; the front for cleaning and the back pad for exfoliating the skin.I always use it with the Verbena Leaf Soap from L'Occitane, because this soap is also a gentle exfoliator and it smells really nice.I would say it is unisex,so your partner might like it as well.





I really had mixed feelings if I should include in this post my Scrub Love with Charcoal and Avocado because I have a love-hate relationship with it.Why?Well...Whenever I use it , my bathtub becomes a mess,the smell isn't very appealing and my skin gets a bit dark because of the big chunks of charcoal ,but I will continue using this product because it actually works.It's the best exfoliator that I have ever used,but it can be a bit harsh with the skin.After I use it my skin looks a bit redish  but after one minute it just changes to its normal colour and my skin becomes baby soft.This is the perfect moment to use a body cream.

 Malee Conditioning Body Cream quickly became my favourite body cream for the cold season.It smells gorgeous, and it works so good for my dry skin . This is the only body cream which I use that my husband doesn't say ' the smell is too strong!' or 'don't use it before we go to bed! ' .It has a buttery texture , but it gets absorbed easily and it contains vitamins beneficial for your skin.

Weekend Shopping - MAC , KAT VON D , SLEEK

I really don't know what's happening to me lately , but if it's a sunny weekend then most probably you will find me in Leeds City Center , spending my money like there's no tomorrow on make-up.
On one of my last spending sprees I bought:














MAC BRUSH CLEANSER  13£
KAT VON D EVERLASTING LIQUID LIPSTICK REDEEM  17£
SLEEK HIGHLIGHT PALETTE DISTORTED DREAMS   11£
SLEEK LIP LINER  5£


I really needed a fast clean up method for my brushes when I'm on the go,so MAC Brush Cleanser was the perfect option for me . I've used it a couple of times and not only that it works , but it's my favorite way of cleaning my brushes.I really recommend this product.

Kat Von D's liquid lipsticks are my option whenever I need a lasting color , specially when I go out for a meal because the color just stays there for hours and hours  even if I eat or drink.Also,my husband prefers this kind of lipstick as he hates it when I kiss him and his lips get colored. 

I bought Sleek's Distorted dreams highlighter when Kat von D's Alchemist palette was sold out , and I got to admit it , I have a love-hate relationship with it.The colors are nice but the glitter is sooo chunky...and the cream highlighters are hard to apply nicely.

 Sleek's lip liner is just a normal creamy lip liner. Not very special,but it's doing its job.
